⚔️ CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Othello (Lead, 30s–40s)
A respected general in the Venetian army. Noble, confident, and deeply in love with Desdemona. His passion and honor make his eventual fall all the more tragic.
Desdemona (Lead, 20s–30s)
The daughter of a Venetian senator who defies her father to marry Othello. Intelligent, sincere, and steadfast in her love, even in the face of false accusations.
Iago (Lead, 30s–40s)
Othello’s ensign and trusted companion. Cunning, manipulative, and driven by jealousy, Iago sets in motion the events that lead to tragedy.
Cassio (Supporting, 20s–30s)
Othello’s loyal lieutenant — charming, disciplined, and admired by many. His innocence makes him an easy target for Iago’s schemes.
Emilia (Supporting, 30s–40s)
Iago’s wife and Desdemona’s attendant. Honest, practical, and brave, she ultimately becomes the voice of truth.
Roderigo (Supporting, 20s–40s)
A wealthy Venetian in love with Desdemona. Foolish and impulsive, he is easily manipulated by Iago.
Brabantio (Supporting, 40s–60s)
